Alan and I went out, he on his paddleboard and me in my kayak. Little chilly out but nice paddle over to friend's dock, Steve and Kim. I'm off to Texas todsy so no water ventures until I get back.

Star of the fish show
Fishing off the dock, we need the crab bait and eventually we will learn how to clean fish. Alan caught 4 big catfish, I got a big ZERO.

Went out with Alan on his 15 foot Precision to experience windy cold weather. Too windy for me, wish I could get over my fear of sailing. I truly am a fair weather boater.

But I went out anyway. For the last 2 weeks the weather has been terrible for kayaking. But today promised 69 degrees and calm. So I was psyched to get out there. Was a short paddle . Was 51 degrees with 9mph winds. I tried to paddle into the wind but the waves kept pushing me away. So I probably only went about 300 yards which felt like 3 miles. I didn't want to capsize so I turned around and headed back which took like 5 minutes

The Weather Channel indicated no rain until after 6 so at 3:30 I put my kayak in to paddle to the other side of the creek and just look at some waterfront lots for sale. Right when I got to the other side of the creek across from the marina it began to sprinkle. Not too worried I decided to slowly meander toward home, taking the scenic route back. About 15 minutes later the skies opened up and it began to pour. I skeddadled my way back to our beach but I got soaked anyway. So only a 35 minute paddle. About 70 degrees out but no sun obviously. Saw some mallards that wanted nothing to do with me on the way.

Met up with a friend to kayak around the creek for a few hours. Very sunny but low 60s, so a little chilly. Only ones on the water, had the whole creek to ourselves. Explored some of the water trails but it was low tide so unable to get in very far. Beautiful day. Can't wait for warmer weather.

Breezy warm day. Boated on the delta on a rice barge to see a coconut factory and a farm. Then moved to campans (canoes) propelled by poles in the canals. Absolutely gorgeous out.

Took a fascinating boat ride on this lake, the largest in Cambodia to see the floating villages. People live on these boats year round. They fish, shop, go to school all on the water.

We travel down the Mekong River in Laos to see the Ou Pak cave where there are over 7000 Buddhas.
